I absolutely love my slow cooker, especially as the weather turns cooler and all you want is a nice big plate of something to warm you up. This recipe blends many different spices and ingredients into something warm, filling and delicious. Served with some couscous, this is the perfect fall meal. Some of the ingredients sound a little unusual, but trust me, it turns out well.
I adapted this recipe from Parents Magazine. No, I do not have any kids or plan on having kids for a while but I look everywhere for new and interesting recipes to try out. And, if they happen to come from a magazine geared toward moms, so be it. :)
When I was calculating the nutrition information for this recipe, I got a few discrepancies between the calorie calculator and the Points+ calculator. I am not sure why, but if you are following Weight Watcher's, I would recommend using 8 Points+, instead of the 7 Points+ that the nutritional information would result in.
